In most cases, this occurs because the colon has absorbed too much water from the food that is in the colon.The stool is often hard and dry. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, and feeling as if one has not completely passed the bowel movement.

Complications from constipation may include hemorrhoids, anal fissure or fecal impaction.
